At the Annual James Connolly Irish American Labor Coalition Lunch 🍀 Honored to stand with leaders and community members celebrating the deep connection between Irish heritage and the labor movement.

On Transit Worker Appreciation Day, the TWU salutes all of our hardworking Operators, Mechanics, Conductors, Cleaners and more who move America from coast-to-coast! We have worked since 1934 to better the lives of all transit workers while keeping the traveling public safe.

The legacy of James Connolly and trade unionism is alive and well. Nothing is more important than the economic security of working men and women. @TwuSamuelsen @StPatsParadeNYC 2026 #irish

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the TWU in NYC. @StPatsParadeNYC

Kicking off the James Connolly Irish American Labor Coalition St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast with pro trade-union @nyccomptroller Mark Levine, who reports $2.billion in pension investments in Ireland. Getting ready to march. ⁦@StPatsParadeNYC⁩ #irish

Democrats should stand with workers, not follow the Big Tech playbook of unchecked automation, designed primarily for greedy billionaires to get even richer. If not, justifiably enraged voters will throw them out of office on Election Day. nydailynews.com/2026/03/17/inn…

We pay tribute to our founder, Mike Quill, an #Irish rebel and #union activist who arrived at Ellis Island 100 years ago today. We proudly keep alive his legacy of militant industrial trade unionism by waging aggressive campaigns against the bosses who harm us. @TwuSamuelsen

Conductors provide “a sense of security” for riders, allowing them to “feel safe and supported.” Join us and @TWULocal100 in thanking our subway conductors and demanding the MTA and Governor Hochul keep two-person crews on our subways! #keepourconductors #conductorskeepnymoving

Subway riders overwhelmingly support state legislation requiring the MTA to keep @TWULocal100 Conductors on their trains - and so should @GovKathyHochul. Support the working families who ride and vote. Doing the will of the people should be a no-brainer.

.@NYCMayor paying respects to Irish American contribution to labor in Midtown & @TwuSamuelsen — an early Mamdani endorser and proponent of his free bus plan. The mayor quotes the famous Irish republican/union leader, James Connolly, who was executed during 1916 Easter Rising.

“Zohran is a trade unionist. He’s one of us,” TWU International Pres. Samuelsen said, introducing ⁦@NYCMayor⁩ Zohran Mamdani at the James Connolly Irish American Labor Coalition luncheon. “When the nurses were out on strike, Zohran was out there on the picket lines.”

With two good friends of transit workers and the cause of labor - Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez and Congressman Pat Ryan. Celebrating the TWU’s Irish roots at the James Connolly Irish American Labor Coalition at Bobby Van’s Steakhouse on W50th.

It’s another great day to be Irish. At the James Connolly Irish American Labor Coalition Annual St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon with Michael Sullivan, Chief of Staff to @Mets owner Steve Cohen and Point72 Asset Management. Let’s go Mets!

New poll shows overwhelming support for ⁦@TWULocal100⁩ Conductors and two-person subway crews as @transportworker responds to @GovKathyHochul’s veto of the OPTO bill. twu.org/keep-conductor…

He’s not here to make friends... @TwuSamuelsen is here to fight for his workers. From @MTA horror stories, calling out “out-of-town abundance bros,” opinions of @KathyHochul & the Irish roots that built the union… Full episode on @Spotify: In The Room with Skye

Victory in Pittsburgh! POGOH bikeshare workers vote to join the TWU. "Today’s victory is a big step forward for POGOH workers who want the benefits of a contract and being a part of the country’s largest bikeshare union. The work now begins on a first contract." @Twusamuelsen

The TWU salutes all of our hardworking women during Women's History Month! The TWU and the TWU's Working Women's Committee fight to support and empower women working in Air, Transit, Railroads & more
